    Why American skunk cabbage is a problem in Farnham

    On Farnham properties, American skunk cabbage colonises wet woodland, pond margins and boggy ground, forming dense stands that shade out native wetland plants. Farnham's River Wey water meadows and former hop-growing land, alongside the old railway sidings and disused gravel pits, have given knotweed persistent footholds throughout the town's fringes.
